Why Google calculator shows $\sin 90^\circ = 0.8939966636$, when we all know that $\sin 90^\circ = 1$ ?

3You can enter "sin 90 deg" into google if you really want degrees. – Sil Mar 18 '18 at 09:58

NOTE: DEG stands for degrees and RAD for radians
Now we need to know two things here, that are :
1. Sin ( 90 DEG ) = 1
2. Sin ( 90 RAD ) = 0.8939966636
So, When we do a google search for Sin 90 without passing the measure it's by-default radians.
Now you know there is nothing wrong with Google Search.
Comment to OP by Sil - Use sin 90 deg into google if you really want degrees.
